Quite funny. Imagine a state decimated by BH coming out en masse for PMB's campaign, even to the point of abandoning work!

One would think they should instead be gathering to ask him serious questions about the poor state of security in their towns and villages.

When PMB came in, nearly the whole of that state was under BH with with Nigerian flags replaced with BH flags. BH was blowing up and beheading Nigerians everyday, even blowing up Nigerians in Abuja...but such is not the case today.


BH is still a nuisance, but we are better off today than under worthless and incompetent Jona and the PDP.

We know how Jona stole our $2.7 billion for weapons against BH and gave it to his crooked and corrupt looting and stealing PDP to share with the likes of ffk, fayose, metuh and others.

This is a gross abuse of power by the borno state government. A return to the Abacha era

The state workers are not all apc supporters and shouldnt be forced to support failure.

GreyLaw:


I'm not happy with the president at all. I still remember when he won the elections, everybody sat up because they were all afraid of him.

He had an overwhelming majority of Nigerians on his side. He is Fulani. He was a former army General. A former Head of State. I mean, Buhari had all it would take to force Nigeria to work.

Somewhere along the line, however, I think he allowed the norm to get to him. The Amaechis and co of this world got to him. He appointed same old, corrupt, thieving people to positions of authority and the rest is history.

If only he utilised even half of the fear and aura around him then. Maybe this country would have been better.

[s]Emeka, stop taking panadol on another man headache. Borno is not one of the eastern states, do your politics the way like and allow them with theirs.
If abacha era is in practice, you won't be wherever you are typing this nonsense[/s].
